And you'll feel taken advantage after the fact like we did. I naively thought there prices would be on par with other local meat counters like Market Hall or Berkeley Bowl, where I normally buy meat so didn't ask. But no. I was charged $50 for 1.4 pounds of rib-eye. It was $34.99 per pound. I felt too embarrassed and was too shocked to say anything in the moment but now I'm just mad at myself. Won't shop at this meat counter again.

Hey I like some veggies and fruit and shrooms also but most of my diet is meat and seafood, as mama God intended it to be. It is awesome to have such a nice family owned butcher shop in town that is all about quality. I have purchased oysters, chicken, salmon, bacon and different cuts of meat over the years and all fresh and fantastic. They also have duck which I haven't purchased yet be cause I don't have my brothers insane duck recipe. That will change soon. The other items I buy are bones and oxtails for bone broth. In the freezer section are meaty oxtails, lamb and beef neck bones and sometimes knuckle bones. In the meat counter they have cut up leg bones. My number one place for bones. Store bought bone broth pales in compareson to my recipe and even though a takes a hot minute to make, it's worth it. The staff is great and very knowledgeable.

Nice resource I found recently. It is a meat wholesaler, so straight warehouse facility that I'm…read moresure delivers to stores and restaurants. And after gazing at their product listing one day, I can kinda tell that they probably service a lot of ethnic shops like taquerias and small brick n mortars. You actually don't see or interact with any of their products directly. Upon opening their public door, there's a small office with a window. There's a current product sheet there with current pricing. You have to go by this and not with what you got in the past, or internet postings, as this sheet will be their current inventory and pricing. And pricing these days can vary greatly from week to week as well as supply. There's also a hanging bulletin board that has a lot of weekly specials. Once you've found something, you just place the order with the nice receptionist. She'll draw up a receipt and take your payment. CASH ONLY (for some reason). You then have to go outside where your car is and wait for a warehouse employee to bring it out to you. They are quick, like I've never had to wait more than 3 minutes. I've tried this place like 3 times now since I work nearby and just hit this up on my way home. Here are some finds: *In a very industrial zone of San Leandro. Close to the Costco but much deeper in industrial streets. Can't see it from a main road. Gotta go under an overpass then parallel a railroad track. Now that I know where it is at, it's a breeze. But first time looking it was a bit of a challenge. *All meats I've gotten thus far are frozen solid. But nicely frozen where you won't have to break anything separating things. Lots of things are well sealed in tight cryovac. So will have to spend time defrosting goods, can't go home and start cooking. But I just put whatever I'm planning on cooking in the fridge for a good day and just cook it the next day or so. And in what meats I've gotten even though frozen at one point is still of really good quality once defrosted. *Beef seems somewhat 'Choice grade' but I haven't seen any labeling to say so. Steaks I've tried are meatier and chewier than most grocery stores in my area, but in a good way. Feels more natural and not as 'water-y'. I've only tried 1 lb Rib Eye Steaks and thin cut NY strips so far, and have been more than pleased. Also tried some lamb shoulder chops and they too made for good dishes. *Pricing less than retail grocery stores unless there is mass grocery sale. Competive with Costco beef pricing but here you'll have to defrost something slowly. But you won't have to go through the Costco grind of getting aggravated in the parking lot, weaving through hundreds of people and waiting in life-sucking lines. I mean I'll still go to Costco, but if I can go to Costco less, then I've just freed up a big part of my personal time. *If I'm ever gonna feed a big group, big bbq, holiday party, big potluck etc., this will be a legit option. You can get cases of stuff here, whole ribeyes and briskets, cases of chicken/pork/lamb. They even have bacon, sausage and common cheeses on wholesale. And a big draw here is they have a ton of ethnic meats, which is why I'm sure they deal with a lot ethnic mom n pops. Tripe, suadero, beef cheeks, pork necks, livers all here. Probably won't find that stuff at Costco. *Warehouse hours, open like super early like 6-7 am and close by noon. Works for my hours but not for many others. Good fit for me, so they'll become a resource for me.

The sandwich was supposed to come with mozzarella cheese, but I could not see or taste any mozzarella on the sandwich. If they put vinegar and olive oil, it was pretty light, as I couldn't taste much of it and the sandwich seemed a bit dry. That being said, the bread and turkey were good, and the portion size was generous. But the lack of mozzarella and vinegar and olive oil made this just an ok sandwich. I did have a better experience my first time when I ordered a build your own with roast beef, so maybe that is the way to go. That being said, it seems like a place with a loyal following and other good reviews, so I would be willing to give them another try.

It used to be called Dimond meats and has been in that location since the 1920s. (learn something new everyday). I'd been meaning to start shopping here, mainly because the quality of grocery chain meat has gone down hill and since the man doesn't eat meat It's more prudent for me to get smaller portions which you can do at the butcher. You can also get other meat like rabbit, goat and such here. I'd visited the chain grocery and couldn't find fresh Turkey legs. What they had in their freezer case looked so unappetizing and were breasts or thighs and even the grocery butcher said to try the local meat market. So I called up Waylands to see if they had and they could get in with in a weeks time. When the time comes, off I trott (no pun intended) to pick them up. 4 fresh turkey legs, no frozen in preservative injected water. The line was out the door, but the staff were so helpful and quick. They smelled fresh, and cooked up great. I put them in the crockpot, so toughness or rubbery texture that the grocery poultry is starting to have. They also have andouille, boudin, turkey, hot links and other items. I can also get oxtails and have them cut smaller if I want. Once I've used up my frozen meat selection I will be return to them. Prices are great too. My 4 turkey legs only cost me $17. Also while waiting in line, I notice they have sandwiches, so I will swing by to pick one up before start of my shift one day.

It's so nice to get a small portion from the butcher instead of having to buy a whole pre‑packaged amount that might go bad.

Food: The hot tri-tip sandwich was unfortunately ice cold, lacked flavor, and was overcooked. I had to use a lot of barbecue sauce just to make it enjoyable. I've had this sandwich before and it was delicious, so I'm not sure what happened today. 2/10 The hot pastrami sandwich, on the other hand, was flavorful and one of the best sandwiches my wife says she's ever had. 10/10 We didn't order any sides this time, but we'll definitely try them on our next visit. Drinks: We ordered two waters and one Gatorade. Service: Service was quick and efficient. The team at the counter was very friendly and helpful. I also liked the old school touch of filling out a sandwich order form. Prices are very reasonable and fair. Even though my sandwich wasn't the best on this visit, we'll definitely be back to try the sides and other items on the menu.
